Krystol T1® Concrete Waterproofing
A surface-applied crystalline slurry treatment that transforms new or existing concrete into a permanent waterproofing barrier.
How It Works
Krystol technology reacts with moisture to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete and block the pathways for water and waterborne contaminants.
Unlike other crystalline solutions that react with free lime that eventually depletes over time, Krystol T1 chemically reacts with water and unhydrated cement particles. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing and watertightness protection.

Krystol T1® Concrete Waterproofing
Krystol T1 is a surface-applied crystalline slurry treatment that transforms new or existing concrete into a permanent waterproofing barrier.
Waterproofing Structural Shotcrete Without A Membrane
Structural shotcrete is becoming a preferred concreting method in foundation construction, building tanks, parking garages and many other structures because it’s up to 50% faster than conventional cast in place.
Protect Marine Structures with Crystalline Waterproofing
Use the right products to protect and increase the lifespan of infrastructure in harsh marine environments.
Construction and Repair of Concrete Tunnels
Construct watertight tunnels that last. Tunnels can be subjected to heavy traffic and vibration, temperature changes, corrosion damage and freeze thaw cycles which affect the tunnel’s durability.
Construction and Repair of Concrete Parking Structures
Construction and Repair of Concrete Parking Structures Construct watertight parking structures that last. Kryton takes the risk out creating durable waterproof concrete parking structures.
Construction and Repair of Concrete Water Containment Structure
Construct watertight water containment structures that last. Take the risk out of creating watertight tanks from the begining by using Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®) admixture and Krystol Waterstop Joint System.

Replace Unreliable Waterproofing Membranes
It’s the intelligent, self-sealing water-protection system that transforms concrete into a powerful water-resistant barrier through crystalline admixtures or surface applied treatments. Krystol® relies on a revolutionary crystalline technology that turns porous concrete into an impermeable barrier. The result is a structure with reduced cracking, self-sealing and waterproofing abilities that provide a powerful defense against water damage and corrosion of reinforcing steel.
The Science of Krystol Technology
Krystol crystalline admixture and other technology is based on principles that are very similar to the processes that occur during the hydration and hardening of concrete. Cement is mainly made up of several calcium silicates. When cement particles are mixed with water, a chemical reaction occurs whereby these calcium silicates combine with the water to form new compounds. The new compounds are calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) and calcium hydroxide.
